البروج

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,

1 Waalssamai thati alburooji

2 And by the Promised Day.

2 Waalyawmi almawAAoodi

3 And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony,

3 Washahidin wamashhoodin

4 (Self - )destroyed were the owners of the ditch

4 Qutila ashabu alukhdoodi

5 Of the fuel - fed fire,

5 Alnnari thati alwaqoodi

6 When they sat by it,

6 Ith hum AAalayha quAAoodun

7 And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.

7 Wahum AAala ma yafAAaloona bialmumineena shuhoodun

8 They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,

8 Wama naqamoo minhum illa an yuminoo biAllahi alAAazeezi alhameedi

9 Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.

9 Allathee lahu mulku alssamawati waalardi waAllahu AAala kulli shayin shaheedun

10 Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.

10 Inna allatheena fatanoo almumineena waalmuminati thumma lam yatooboo falahum AAathabu jahannama walahum AAathabu alhareeqi

11 Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.

11 Inna allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum jannatun tajree min tahtiha alanharu thalika alfawzu alkabeeru

12 Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.

12 Inna batsha rabbika lashadeedun

13 Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,

13 Innahu huwa yubdio wayuAAeedu

14 And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,

14 Wahuwa alghafooru alwadoodu

15 Lord of the Throne of Glory,

15 Thoo alAAarshi almajeedi

16 Doer of what He will.

16 FaAAAAalun lima yureedu

17 Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts

17 Hal ataka hadeethu aljunoodi

18 Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud ?

18 FirAAawna wathamooda

19 Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial

19 Bali allatheena kafaroo fee taktheebin

20 And Allah, all unseen, surroundeth them.

20 WaAllahu min waraihim muheetun

21 Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.

21 Bal huwa quranun majeedun

22 On a guarded tablet.

22 Fee lawhin mahfoothin
